The term that I have seen misused most frequently is "Psychopath". It is used as a "catch-all" phrase to indicate a dangerous mentally ill person. A dangerous paranoid schizophrenic does not a "psyocopath" make. They would be very surprised to find out what a psychopathic personality really is and how they act. Note: I am a former Army nero-psychiatric technician and was schooled relative to that term and observed the behavior and symptoms of such at Fitsimons General Hospital, Denver Colorado, (the Army hospital where Dwight Eisenhower was taken when he had his heart attack when president).
